[ In the Palace of the Alpha King ]
Queen Esmeralda, the queen of the werewolves barged into the Throne Room of the Alpha King, can see that her Alpha King is talking with his beta and other Officers.
"I need to talk to you, your highness!" Queen Esmeralda expressed her respect right after she aired her request for the Alpha King's presence.
The Alpha King discerns the serious look in the eyes of the Queen. He immediately postponed his conversation with his officers and led his Queen to a Private Chamber with no one around.
"What is it that bothers you so much, that it needed for you to disrupt my meeting with my officers?"
"H O W could you !! I KNOW VIKTOR !! I KNOW !!"
The Alpha King tries to calm his Queen "What do you mean? What did I do?"
"Do not pretend as if you do not know what I mean."
"Well, if you will elaborate to me right now then I will know."
"HOW DARE YOU! HOW COULD YOU CONNIVE WITH THE KING OF VAMPIRES !!"
King Viktor was surprised with the last statement of his queen, he immediately closed the door and checked if there is anyone around.
"WHY did you give the King of vampires the location of the Silver Aurora Pack? We both know only Four souls knew about the information that the next Chosen One will be born in the territory of the Silver Aurora Pack. How could you connive with the King of Vampires?"
"I do not know what you are talking about Esmeralda! I even sent my Elite warriors to protect the Next Chosen One."
"I have also my own spies and my own ways. I know you sent someone to King Lionel so he would know about the details of the next Chosen One. I know you are the spy of King Lionel in the Altum Council, the Council of Supernaturals. I Know that it is you who leaks the information to King Lionel. My spies trailed one of your covert exchanges with King Lionel . . .
Tell me why Viktor ? Tell me for what reason are you doing this ? I thought you want peace and unity for all supernaturals."
King Viktor walks away from the queen and went ahead to have a sit on the couch. He contemplated the words to say to Queen Esmeralda. Until his Beta bolted his way in and informed the Alpha King that Captain Randall linked with the Beta. He has informed him that the Silver Aurora Pack is under attack and asked for reinforcement.
"Viktor we need to send reinforcements!" Queen Esmeralda immediately exclaimed to her King.
"No, we will not! I already sent my Elite warriors there"
The Beta could not argue nor question his Alpha King because he fears him the most and knows how dangerous it is to go against their Alpha King. He does not want to endanger his own mate and family so he kept quiet but it is different with the Queen Esmeralda.
Queen Esmeralda realizes exactly what kind of vicious scheme that the Alpha King has plotted. She could see the unwavering expression of the Alpha King.
Right before she successfully leaves the room, King Viktor injected Queen Esmeralda with a little dose of silver nitrate solution which puts any werewolf into an unconscious state due to its chemical compound that renders any werewolf weak and when the dosage is increased, it can even kill any lower rank werewolf.
"Now, Nolan listen carefully and make sure you follow my orders if you really do care for your mate and your kids' life. I do not want you to be the reason that your family crumbles and get wasted."
"Please Alpha, I will do anything as you say. I already have pledged my complete loyalty to you, your highness! Please! spare my family."
"Very Good! I am glad we are on the same page, my BETA Nolan!"
King Viktor stared outside through the window, looking at his 2 years old son, from Queen Esmeralda, playing with the guards and a nanny at the garden. He finally releases his evil smile for he knows that his schemes are working out well and he could not wait for his plans to finally succeed.
He will not let Queen Esmeralda ruin his grandeur plans and waste all his efforts.
Knowing that he is closer to achieve his goals for the world he envisions.
===========================================
- Captain Randall's POV -
Damn it! I cannot look back and stop now. I need to make sure Alpha Berrick's son and daughter are safe. I am surprised his son is not crying and strangely quiet and trying his best to keep up with our running. I better shift and it will be easier to run away. The Delta tried to stay behind to shake off our pursuers.
I better wrap the baby with the cloak while little Lucas will ride at my back.
Before I get to wrap the baby with the cloak, I notice that there is someone behind the shadows and her scent reveals that it is my mate. I badly want to embrace her and wrap her around my arms. I was scared that something might have happened to her. I know it is not easy when your mate is also a member of the Elite Warriors of the Alpha King.
"Kesha! I am glad you are safe! Where are the others and the Beta?"
While he waits for the reply of his mate, he could notice the weird behavior of his mate and clearly he could sense that the kids are no longer safe with her around.
"Lucas, use this cloak and chant 'FOLAIGH' and run as fast as you can. Do not reveal yourself to anyone unless it is me."
"How will I know if it is really you?"
Captain Randall's hugs Little Lucas and his finger made a smiley sign on Lucas Hand. Little Lucas immediately understood what Captain Randall intended. Then he covered himself and chanted 'FOLAIGH' while he held his baby sister with the cloak.
The two siblings disappeared.
And Captain Randall's mate seems to be unhappy with what the Captain did.
"Kesha! What is wrong? Tell me, what is happening to you? Why can't I link with you?"
Then another figure revealed itself, a vampire that seems to be controlling the Captain's mate.
==========================================
Little Lucas covered his tracks as he tries to run away as fast as he can. He rested under a tree while trying to hide with his baby sister and trying his best not to cry. He mustered all his strength not to cry and panic.
Little Lucas promised his dad that he will protect his baby sister and that he will be strong.
As the young boy tried to control his breathing, he could hear footsteps. He tried to take a peek and he sees a brown wolf covered with blood and slowly approaching him.
Lucas tried his best not to move because he needed to make sure his baby sister is safe. Though, he is carefully watching the movements of the brown wolf which is approaching slowly.
Now, it started making a smiley face on the ground with its paws.
Thus, Lucas realizes that it is Captain Randall in his wolf form.
Immediately he revealed himself and hugged the wolf.
Captain Randall started to pick up little Lucas using his muzzle and helped him position himself comfortably on his back and he carefully picks up the cloth of baby Selene with his fangs so he can carry baby Selene through it.
He also started to change direction and made his way to another path. A path of uncertainty but definitely away from the treacherous and vile claws of the beings who are after the next Chosen One.
The captain of the elite werewolves kept repeating the memory he has with Alpha Berrick. The memory where he took a vow to protect and look after Little Lucas and Baby Selene.
A realization came into Captain Randall's mind, he can never reveal his human form ever again to anyone, or else he will put Lucas and baby Selene in danger.
As he runs away in a new direction, to a new path where the future is uncertain, he vows to keep them safe and alive. As long as they see another day, he knows the darkness will never succeed.
